Wet Week in OC

It has been a wet week in Oconee County, reports Official U.S. Weather Observer Barbara Wilson from her weather station in Walhalla. “Since I was away for Saturday and Sunday, on Monday there was a total for that weekend of 1.02. Then we’ve had .63 on Tuesday and then last night I recorded .78 with a high yesterday of 89 and a low of 65. We’re moving toward over 7 inches close to 8 inches already for August and really it has been a cool month so far, the high has only been 91. So, we are still watching for those afternoon pop-up thundershowers.” Numbers may be different where you live, Wilson recorded these figures from her weather station, which is about a mile from downtown Walhalla. Wilson and her family, the Brandts, have been recording the weather from Walhalla for the National Weather Service for over 100 years. They are the longest active weather watchers and volunteer reporters for the National Weather Service.
